action.

About this task

Note: Terminating a stack or resource group results in the loss of all data and
configuration that is associated with the affected resources. Before terminating, be
sure to back up any data that you want to keep.

Procedure

Open the list of stacks or resource groups:

Amazon AWS Cloud > Managed Resources > Stacks.

Microsoft Azure Cloud > Managed Resources > Resource Groups.

Select the stack or resource group to terminate. You can terminate a stack or
resource group with Resource Group status of
Succeeded.

Note: You cannot terminate a stack or resource group that has an open change
request (Update in progress, Delete in progress, and so on).

Click the Terminate Stack or Terminate
Resource Group related link.

If the action is subject to change control, a pop-up window advises you
that change control is required and asks whether to proceed. If the action is
not subject to change control, the system immediately triggers the termination
workflow.
